Worldwide, over 90 million barrels of crude oil, natural gas and refined hydrocarbons are produced, transported, stored, and sold to end customers every day. Any measuring inaccuracy results in enormous shortfalls for suppliers or buyers. This is not the case with Promass Q. Thanks to its revolutionary 4-tube technology and an extended measuring range for pipelines up to DN 250 (10″), operators of loading stations are just one example of those who enjoy its many benefits.
The Omron Factory Drive Recorder offers users the ability to optimize their machine troubleshooting and minimize the time it takes to solve problems in the field through the combination of Omron Industrial Cameras and the easiest to use Event Capture Software on the market.
Coming soon! POSITAL’s LINARIX family of linear sensors will soon include a new series of draw-wire position sensors with built-in inclinometers (also known as tilt sensors). These combo sensors will be available with an extension range of up to 8 meters (25 ft) plus one- or two-axis tilt measurement.

Festo introduces at IBIE 2022 a new and easy-to-use artificial intelligence (AI) software platform, Festo Automation Experience (AX). Festo AX lowers the risk of unplanned equipment shutdown for optimum equipment effectiveness. Festo also shows for the new robotic end-of-arm grippers that function like human hands to gently handle individual baked goods such as sandwich loaves, buns, and rolls. Festo features the Simplified Motion Series (SMS) family of low-cost and easy-to-apply servo-controlled electric drives. IBIE 2022, Las Vegas Convention Center, September 18-21, Booth #1417.
AutomationDirect has added ProSense miniature rectangular photoelectric sensors to their inventory of almost 4,000 sensors and encoders. The new ProSense RW mini photoelectric sensors provide an affordable solution for small applications with very limited space. Available in diffuse, diffuse with adjustable background suppression, retroreflective, and through-beam models, their compact light spot provides accurate detection over long distances and can easily detect small, flat, or highly reflective objects.
RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology uses radio frequencies to read and write data to/from electronic labels called tags. RFID technology doesn’t require a line of sight between the tag and the Read/Write module to operate, and tags store a large amount of data that can be edited. All of these products are rated for IP67 and IP68/69k.
AutomationDirect has added LUTZE SILFLEX® FBP control cables, specifically designed to meet all UL and FDA requirements for cabling used in Food and Beverage facilities. The patent-pending food-safe design of these cables has been evaluated by third-party tester Ecolab for resistance to commonly used cleaning agents and reduction of contamination risk.
In the process industry, powerful sensors are needed to monitor the correct position of valves. Some outdoor applications, such as seawater desalination plants, oil rigs or phosphate mines, place special demands on the sensor technology used. With a particularly tight and corrosion-free housing, the F31K2 dual inductive sensor is the ideal solution for valve position feedback under such extreme conditions.
The K50 Pro Compact Touch with Display is the ideal interface device for pick-to-light, operator guidance and interaction, or advanced information communication. It has two independent touch areas and perimeter indication that provide a bidirectional interface to improve process efficiency and speed issue response. Control via IO-Link® or PICK-IQ™ serial interface gives full access to color, animation, and display settings. This K50 works well for condition monitoring applications and blends seamlessly into Banner’s Snap Signal ecosystem.
The DriveRadar® IoT suite package includes plug and play smart sensors, Edge processing, and intelligent data analysis to transform your static Gear units into sophisticated, self-learning, and self-diagnosing Gear Units. The technology is designed to take the guesswork and even some of the thinking out of your maintenance tasks and allows you to view critical performance data right from your smart device. Plan maintenance and repair activities predictively for your drives and avoid undesirable system failures.
From inspection to identification, barcode reading to robotic guidance, measurement to color analysis, Festo provides machine vision solutions to suit your needs. With higher resolutions, more powerful software tools, easier integration and more flexibility, the latest generation of SBS vision sensors provide the right features and tools to meet your demanding machine vision requirements.
AutomationDirect has added new NITRA ISO 5599/1 pneumatic solenoid valve components. These solenoid valves are completely interchangeable with any brand of ISO 5599/1 equipment. ISO 5599 size one and size two components include solenoid valve bodies in 5-way, 2-position configurations with single or double solenoids and 5-way, 3-position, double solenoid valves with a center-pressure, center-closed, or center-exhaust configuration.
